The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Avery Dennison (Brea, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
I went through thier process, which seemed inefficient:
1st: Phone interview by Avery Dennison HR. 45 minutes.
2nd: Phone interview by hiring manager. 30 minutes.
3rd: Phone interview by 2nd HR. 30 minutes.
4th: All day interview - from 9am to 2pm - includes 45 min one-on-one interviews with 7 different people. All seems to go well, but two were on the fence. This should have been one group interview for an hour or so to not waste everyone's time.
I followed up 4 times a week for the next 3 weeks and was advised I was still being considered (or stringing me along), when I finally got the standard generic email stating I was not longer considered.
Tried to follow up to get more feedback on what exactly I was lacking (as per thier own web site states to do) - and I really wanted feedback to prepare me for further interviews with different companies, but still got a lack of response.
Disappointing, to say the least, in thier lack of communication. Felt I was just strung along for a long time until someone better came along.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Well, since it has been almost a month ago since I was interviewed, I dont remember any specific questions!
The interview process was incredibly smooth and efficient. I was particularly impressed by the amazing use of AI throughout the stages, which made the experience feel modern, fair, and very well-organized.
Series of interviews, starting with Talent - Human Resources. Followed by hiring manager, then a cross-functional partner interview, and then senior HR staff. Time frame took approximately 2 1/2-3 weeks. Interviews were conducted over the phone or virtual.
After the initial screening over the phone, the next phase was sitting down in person with multiple IPT members. Prior to starting the interview process I was given a tour of the common areas. The in person interview took a few hours.
